6.8 What sort of hardware do you have in your house?
- Digital input sensors on doors and garage door
Does anyone has any info where I can the "Digital input sensor"?
Thx, J.P.

JP,
A 'digital input sensor' is anything that provides an on/off, open/closed, 0/1 input. It has only 2 states, usually open or closed.
I got a lot of my switches from these guys a few years ago.

They seem to be working great. As a bonus, the water sensors double as lightening sensors!! Actually a little software debounce in mh fixes that.
There are thousands more options out there.

Thanks the info Jeff, I can get these to work with serial port.
But I am thinking about installing about 15 of these. Any easy way to
hook these up besides the serial port.

Hook the reed switch part right up to the X10 door/window sensor!

JP,
I currently have about 35 various door/water/etc open/close sensors hooked up via 3 of the weeder serial i/o boards. I can't think of an easier way off hand. You just chain them together. It's one of the simpliest and most robust parts of my mh setup.
Each board can handle 14 inputs.
